A process for the production of a composite textile article which includes at least a biopolymer layer, comprising the following steps: providing at least one textile article, in particular selected from a fiber, a yarn, a fabric and a garment; providing at least part of the textile article with at least a biopolymer layer; providing at least part of the biopolymer layer with at least a textile softening agent, to provide a composite textile article; and to a composite textile article as obtainable therefrom.

A process for the production of a composite textile article which includes at least a biopolymer layer, comprising the following steps: providing at least one textile article, in particular selected from a fiber, a yarn, a fabric and a garment; providing at least part of the textile article with at least a biopolymer layer; providing at least part of the biopolymer layer with at least a textile softening agent, to provide a composite textile article; and to a composite textile article as obtainable therefrom.

The present invention relates to a composite textile article which includes at least one textile, a biopolymer layer on the textile and a textile softening agent on at least part of the biopolymer layer. The textile article may be a fiber, a yarn, a fabric or a garment. The textile softening agent may be macro-silicone, semi-micro silicone, micro-silicone or nano-silicone. The biopolymer layer may comprise a sugar-based biopolymer, an amino acid-based biopolymer, or a mixture thereof. The composite textile article may be an elastic woven fabric or denim garment.

Provided is a process for forming a composite textile article that includes a biopolymer layer. The process includes providing a textile and contacting at least part of the textile with a culture comprising biopolymer-producing microorganisms and culturing the biopolymer-producing microorganisms to obtain a biopolymer layer on the textile. A silicone softening agent is provided to at least part of the biopolymer layer to obtain a composite textile, wherein the silicone comprises macro-silicone, semi-micro silicone, micro-silicone or nano-silicone. The composite textile article may be an elastic woven fabric or an elastic denim garment.

Provided is a composite fabric having a base fabric and at least one bacterial biopolymer layer. The base fabric is a woven fabric, and includes warp yarns and weft yarns. At least a first plurality of warp yarns and a first plurality of weft yarns form a base layer of the base fabric. A second plurality of warp yarns and/or a second plurality of weft yarns forms an additional layer of loop portions on at least one of the sides of the base fabric. The bacterial biopolymer layer is provided at least on part of the additional layer. Further provided is a process for the production of the composite fabric and a clothing article formed of the composite fabric.

A set of inkjet inks used for forming an image by application of an ink on a cloth is provided. The set includes an ink and a pre-processing fluid. The pre-processing fluid contains water, a compound that flocculates an anionic compound, and at least one emulsified sizing agent.

Provided are a compound represented by any one of Formulae (1) to (3) (for example, the following compound), a coloring composition for dyeing or textile printing including the compound, an ink jet ink including the coloring composition for dyeing or textile printing, a method of printing on fabric, and a dyed or printed fabric, in which the color is excellent, the color optical density is high, and light fastness, water fastness, and chlorine fastness are excellent.
